To fr/ZZ zul/1,071@ 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN CARL CHIBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Texas, in the county of Marathon and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and portable Fence, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in that class of fences whose panels are pivoted and supported in such manner that they may be inclined laterally at a greater or less angle.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view illustrating my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a post to which the panels of the fence are attached.

A indicates a horizontal base-piece which rests upon the ground, and B two panels which are attached to a post D, that is pivoted' at a to the base A. As shown in Fig. 3, this post has a notch CZ in its lower end which is thus made forked and adapted to embrace the sides of the base-piece A. The adjacent ends of the panels B are applied to the post D, on opposite sides thereof, and they are secured together and to the post by means of a screwbolt E, the same having at one end an eye and being threaded at the opposite end to receive a nut, as indicated in Fig. 2. To the eye end of the bolt is attached a brace C, consisting of an iron rod whose lower end is bent at a right angle to adapt it to enter any one of a series of sockets or holes a', formed in the side of the hase-piece A.

Itis apparent from the construction and a1'- rangement of parts described that the fence proper or the panels B B are `supported by thebrace C and that they may be set at any l lateral inclination, asindicated by dotted lines, Fig. 2, so that the panels will maintain a vertical position whatever be the inclination or slope of the surface on which the fence rests. It will be seen that the required adjustment may be easily and quickly made and that the several parts of the fence may be easily and quickly detached from each other by removing the eyebolt E and the pivot-bolt a. The fence is thus adapted to be easily set up, adjusted, and removed and`transported from place to place.

It is to be understood that the panels B may be constructed in any desired dimension as to length or breadth and in any manner or stylev which conditions or judgment may dictate. A base-piece A may be arranged at the junction of every two panels or at longer intervals in the length of the fence, the panels intermediate the base-pieces being in such case secured together in the required manner.

What I claim is- In a fence of the class indicated, the combination, with a base-piece having a series of holes in its side, and a post pivoted thereto, of fence-panels extending in opposite direc tions from the post and lapped upon the same, an eyebolt passing through the panels and the post and serving to secure them together, and a brace, C, pivotally connected with the said eyebolt and having its free end bent laterally at a right angle, whereby it is adapted to engage the holes in the base-piece, substantially as described.
